Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to woven fabrics, and relates more specifically to woven fabrics for papermakers.
  • a water slurry, or suspension, of cellulosic fibers (known as the paper "stock") is fed onto the top of the upper run of an endless belt (or between two endless belts) of woven wire and/or synthetic material that travels between two or more rollers.
  • the belt often referred to as a "forming fabric” provides a papermaking surface on the upper surface of its upper run which operates as a filter to separate the cellulosic fibers of the paper stock from the aqueous medium, thereby forming a wet paper web.
  • the aqueous medium drains through mesh openings of the forming fabric, known as drainage holes, by gravity alone or with assistance from one or more suction boxes located on the lower surface ( i.e. , the "machine side") of the upper run of the fabric.
  • the paper web After leaving the forming section, the paper web is transferred to a press section of the paper machine, in which it is passed through the nips of one or more pairs of pressure rollers covered with another fabric, typically referred to as a "press felt.” Pressure from the rollers removes additional moisture from the web; the moisture removal is often enhanced by the presence of a "batt" layer on the press felt.
  • the paper is then conveyed to a dryer section for further moisture removal. After drying, the paper is ready for secondary processing and packaging.
  • papermaker's fabrics are manufactured as endless belts by one of two basic weaving techniques.
  • fabrics are flat woven by a flat weaving process, with their ends being joined to form an endless belt by any one of a number of well-known joining methods, such as dismantling and reweaving the ends together (commonly known as splicing), or sewing a pin-seamable flap on each end or a special foldback, then reweaving these into pin-seamable loops.
  • splicing commonly known as splicing
  • sewing a pin-seamable flap on each end or a special foldback then reweaving these into pin-seamable loops.
  • the warp yarns extend in the machine direction and the filling yarns extend in the cross machine direction.
  • fabrics are woven directly in the form of a continuous belt with an endless weaving process.
  • the warp yarns extend in the cross machine direction and the filling yarns extend in the machine direction.
  • machine direction MD
  • CMD cross machine direction
  • Both weaving methods described hereinabove are well known in the art, and the term “endless belt” as used herein refers to belts made by either method.
  • Wire marking is particularly problematic in the formation of fine paper grades, as it can affect a host of paper properties, such as sheet mark, porosity, "see-through” and pin holing. Wire marking is typically the result of individual cellulosic fibers being oriented within the paper web such that their ends reside within gaps between the individual threads or yarns of the forming fabric. This problem is generally addressed by providing a permeable fabric structure with a coplanar surface that allows paper fibers to bridge adjacent yarns of the fabric rather than penetrate the gaps between yarns.
  • coplanar means that the upper extremities of the yarns defining the paper-forming surface are at substantially the same elevation, such that at that level there is presented a substantially “planar” surface. Accordingly, fine paper grades intended for use in quality printing, carbonizing, cigarettes, electrical condensers, and like grades of fine paper have typically heretofore been formed on very finely woven or fine wire mesh forming fabrics.
  • such finely woven fabrics include at least some relatively small diameter machine direction or cross machine direction yarns.
  • such yarns tend to be delicate, leading to a short surface life for the fabric.
  • the use of smaller yarns can also adversely effect the mechanical stability of the fabric (especially in terms of skew resistance, narrowing propensity and stiffness), which may negatively impact both the service life and the performance of the fabric.
  • multi-layer forming fabrics have been developed with fine-mesh yarns on the paper forming surface to facilitate paper formation and coarser-mesh yarns on the machine contact side to provide strength and durability.
  • fabrics have been constructed which employ one set of machine direction yarns which interweave with two sets of cross machine direction yarns to form a fabric having a fine paper forming surface and a more durable machine side surface. These fabrics form part of a class of fabrics which are generally referred to as "double layer" fabrics.
  • fabrics have been constructed which include two sets of machine direction yams and two sets of cross machine direction yarns that form a fine mesh paper side fabric layer and a separate, coarser machine side fabric layer.
  • triple layer fabrics In these fabrics, which are part of a class of fabrics generally referred to as "triple layer” fabrics, the two fabric layers are typically bound together by separate stitching yarns.
  • double and triple layer fabrics include additional sets of yarn as compared to single layer fabrics, these fabrics typically have a higher "caliper" (i.e., they are thicker than) comparable single layer fabrics.
  • An illustrative double layer fabric is shown in U.S. Patent No. 4,423,755 to Thompson, and illustrative triple layer fabrics are shown in U.S. Patent No. 4,501,303 to Osterberg, U.S. Patent No. 5,152,326 to Vohringer, and U.S. Patent No. 5,437,315 to Ward.
  • the coarser CMD yarns used in the bottom layer of the fabric typically have long "floats" (segments that span multiple adjacent MD yams in the weave pattern) that contact the papermaking machine.
  • This arrangement is desirable, as the MD yarns (which are subjected to most of the tensile load of the fabric during operation) are protected to a large degree from wear; however, the long CMD floats are susceptible to wear over time.
  • the floats are somewhat asymmetric; i.e. , the MD yarns that pass above the float apply forces of varying magnitudes at asymmetric points across the float.
  • the floats can be somewhat asymmetric in shape, thereby protruding toward the papermaking machine in a non-uniform manner. The locations on the floats that protrude the most tend to receive the most wear during operation.
  • the present invention includes a papermaker's fabric that can improve fiber support, wear resistance, caliper, and other papermaking properties.
  • the fabric includes: a first set of machine direction yarns; a top set of cross machine direction yarns interwoven with the first set of machine direction yarns; and a bottom set of cross machine direction yarns interwoven with the first set of machine direction yams.
  • the first set of machine direction yarns, the top set of cross machine direction yarns, and the bottom set of cross machine direction yarns are interwoven in a repeat pattern in which each of the machine direction yarns passes below at least two nonadjacent bottom cross machine direction yarns, in which each adjacent pair of machine direction yarns passes below a common bottom cross machine direction yarn to form side-by side bottom knuckles, and in which machine direction yarns adjacent to and sandwiching the adjacent pair of machine direction yarns forming the side-by-side bottom knuckles pass over a top cross machine direction yarn positioned substantially directly above the bottom cross machine direction yarn under which the bottom knuckles are formed such that a phantom float is formed on that top cross machine direction yarn.
  • such a configuration in a double layer fabric can enable the phantom float to participate more fully in the fiber support of the fabric and, as such, improve fiber support in locations between long CMD floats on the papermaking surface ( i.e. , the locations of the phantom floats). Also, this configuration can improve wear resistance by providing a more symmetric bottom side CMD float as a contact point with the papermaking machine.
  • the present invention is directed to a triple layer papermaker's fabric that comprises: a set of top machine direction yarns; a set of bottom machine direction yarns; a set of top cross machine direction yarns interwoven with the top machine direction yarns to form a top fabric layer; a set of bottom machine direction yarns; a bottom set of cross machine direction yarns interwoven with the bottom machine direction yarns to form a bottom fabric layer; and a plurality of cross machine direction stitching yarns interweaving with the top and bottom machine direction yarns to interconnect the top and bottom fabric layers.
  • the bottom machine direction yarns and the bottom cross machine direction yarns are interwoven in a repeat pattern in which each of the bottom machine direction yarns passes below at least two nonadjacent bottom cross machine direction yarns, thereby forming bottom side machine direction knuckles, and wherein each adjacent pair of machine direction yarns passes below a common bottom cross machine direction yarn to form side-by-side bottom knuckles.
  • the bottom layer may have improved wear resistance, higher air permeability, and other performance benefits compared to other triple layer fabrics with shorter bottom layer floats.

  • the fabric 100 includes eight consecutive machine direction yarns 102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 112, 114 and 116, which are interwoven with a set of eight top CMD yarns 120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 130, 132, and 134 and with a set of eight bottom CMD yarns 140, 142, 144, 146, 148, 150, 152 and 154.
  • each bottom CMD yarn is located substantially directly below a corresponding top CMD yam.
  • the section of fabric illustrated in Figures 1-4 constitutes a single repeat unit of a larger fabric comprising multiple repeat units; of course, the repeat unit can begin at any point within this pattern so long as the pattern is maintained.
  • each MD yarn interweaves with the top CMD yarns such that it passes over two adjacent top CMD yarns, then passes below six consecutive top CMD yarns.
  • MD yarn 102 passes over top CMD yarns 120 and 122, then passes below top CMD yarns 124, 126, 128, 130, 132 and 134. While passing below the top CMD yarns, each MD yarn passes below two bottom CMD yarns that sandwich two other bottom CMD yarns.
  • MD yarn 102 after passing above top CMD yarns 120 and 122, passes above bottom CMD yarn 144, below bottom CMD yarn 146, above bottom CMD yarns 148 and 150, below bottom CMD yarn 152, and above bottom CMD yarn 154.
  • each MD yarn travels along the following path: above two top CMD yarns, between the next pair of top and bottom CMD yarns, below the next bottom CMD yarn, between the next two pair of top and bottom CMD yarns, below the next bottom CMD yarn, and between the next pair of top and bottom CMD yarns.
  • Adjacent MD yarns following this interweaving pattern or sequence are offset from one another in the machine direction by three bottom CMD yarns. This can be illustrated by examination of MD yarns 106 and 108 (seen best in Figures 3C and 3D .). MD yarn 106 ( Figure 3C) passes below bottom CMD yarns 142 and 148. Adjacent MD yarn 108 ( Figure 3D) passes below bottom CMD yarns 148 and 154. A similar three CMD yarn offset is followed by all of the MD yarns as they pass over top CMD yarns.
  • adjacent MD yarns form a machine direction "knuckle" (i.e. , a location where an MD yarn passes below one CMD yarn only, while passing above the adjacent CMD yarns) below the same bottom CMD yarn (e.g. , both of MD yarns 106 and 108 form a knuckle below bottom CMD yarn 148, as described above).
  • knuckle a machine direction "knuckle”
  • both of MD yarns 106 and 108 form a knuckle below bottom CMD yarn 148, as described above.
  • phantom float means a short CMD float (i.e. , a portion of a CMD yarn passing over more than one MD yarn) on the papermaking surface that is supported by an adjacent and corresponding bottom CMD yarn such that it is elevated to participate more fully in fiber support.
  • This phantom float supplements the longer floats of top CMD yarn 130 located on either side of the phantom float which are largely responsible for support of fibers in paper stock during the formation of paper.
  • the presence of the phantom knuckle can help to increase coplanarity of the papermaking surface in the locations between the long floats of the top CMD yarns, which can positively impact the surface of paper produced thereon.
  • the bottom float formed on the bottom CMD yarn is relatively symmetric and flat (see Figures 5A and 5B for comparison of the present fabric 20 to a prior art fabric).
  • the relative symmetry and flatness of the bottom side CMD float can induce more surface area of this float to be in contact with the paper machine than is true for prior art fabrics. Accordingly, there is more surface provided by each bottom CMD yarn to endure wear on the fabric, which can result in higher wear resistance for the overall fabric.
  • FIG. 1-5 a repeat unit of a double layer fabric with additional fiber support yarns, designated broadly at 200, is illustrated in Figures 6-8.
  • the fabric 200 includes eight MD yarns 202, 204, 206, 208, 210, 212, 214 and 216, which are interwoven with eight top CMD yarns 220, 222, 224, 226, 228, 230, 232, and 234 and with eight bottom CMD yarns 240, 242, 244, 246, 248, 250, 252, and 254 in the same manner as the MD, top CMD and bottom CMD yarns of the fabric 100 described above.
  • the fabric 200 also includes in its repeat unit eight fiber support "picks" 220a, 222a, 224a, 226a, 228a, 230a, 232a and 234a.
  • Each pick is located between two adjacent top CMD yarns and is interwoven with the MD yarns such that it passes over seven adjacent MD yarns and below an eighth MD yarn.
  • pick 220a passes below MD yarn 202 and above MD yarns 204, 206, 208, 210, 212, 214 and 216.
  • Adjacent picks are offset from one another in their weaving sequences by three MD yarns; thus, pick 220a passes below MD yarn 202, while pick 222a passes below MD yarn 208.
  • each MD yarn passes over only the pick located between the two CMD yarns that MD yarn also passes over; for example, MD yarn 202 passes over top CMD yarns 220 and 222, but also passes over pick 220a only and below all other picks.
  • the weave pattern of fabric 200 maintains the adjacent bottom surface MD knuckles illustrated in fabric 100.
  • the "phantom float" effect described for the fabric 100 is also present for the fabric 200, as is the relatively symmetric bottom CMD yarn for increased wear resistance.
  • the potential for reduced caliper, reduced void volume, increased stability, and decreased permeability is also present.
  • a repeat unit of a double layer fabric designated broadly at 300, includes in its repeat unit seven MD yarns 302, 304, 306, 308, 310, 312, and 314 interwoven with seven top CMD yarns 320, 322, 324, 326, 328, 330, and 332, seven bottom CMD yarns 340, 342, 344, 346, 348, 350, and 352, and seven fiber support picks 320a, 322a, 324a, 326a, 328a, 330a and 332a.
  • each MD yarn passes above two top CMD yarns and the pick sandwiched therebetween and passes below all other top CMD yarns and picks.
  • Each MD yam also passes below two bottom CMD yarns that are separated by one bottom CMD yarn.
  • MD yarn 302 passes above top CMD yarns 320 and 322 as well as pick 320a, then passes below pick 322a, between top CMD yarn 324 and bottom CMD yarn 344, below bottom CMD yarn 346, between bottom CMD yarn 348 and top CMD yarn 328, below bottom CMD yarn 350, and between top CMD yarn 322 and bottom CMD yarn 352.
  • Adjacent MD yarns are offset from one another in weaving sequence by two top CMD yarns; thus, MD yarn 302 passes above top CMD yarn 320 and 322, which adjacent MD yarn 304 passes above top CMD yarns 324 and 326.
  • adjacent MD yarns form the distinctive side-by-side single float bottom layer knuckles seen in the fabrics 100 and 200 described above, and can provide the same performance advantages.
  • Figures 12A-12I illustrate nine MD yams 402, 404, 406, 408, 410, 412, 414, 416 and 418 of the repeat unit of a double layer fabric 400 as these MD yarns interweave with nine top CMD yarns 420, 422, 424, 426, 428, 430, 432, 434 and 436, nine bottom CMD yarns 440, 442, 444, 446, 448, 450, 452, 454 and 456, and nine fiber support picks 420a, 422a, 424a, 426a, 428a, 430a, 432a, 434a and 436a .
  • each MD yarn passes over two top CMD yarns and the pick sandwiched therebetween, between the adjacent set of top and bottom CMD yarns, below the next bottom CMD yarn, between the next set of top and bottom CMD yarns, below the following bottom CMD yarn, and between the next three sets of top and bottom CMD yarns.
  • MD yarn 402 passes above top CMD yarns 420 and 422 as well as pick 420a, passes below pick 422a and between top and bottom CMD yarns 424, 444, passes below bottom CMD yam 446 , passes between top and bottom CMD yarns 428, 448, passes below bottom CMD yarn 450, and passes between top and bottom CMD yarn sets 432, 452, 434, 454, and 436, 456 (and under pick 436a ).
  • Adjacent MD yarns are offset in weaving sequence by two top CMD yarns, so while MD yarn 402 passes above top CMD yarns 420 and 422, adjacent MD yarn 404 passes above top CMD yarns 424 and 426 (see Figures 9A and 9B ). As a result, the adjacent bottom layer MD knuckles found in the previously described fabrics are present here.
  • the double layer fabric 500 includes ten MD yarns 501, 502, 504, 506, 508, 510, 512, 514 , 516 and 518 that interweave with ten top CMD yarns 520, 522, 524, 526, 528, 530, 532, 534, 536 and 538, ten fiber support picks 520a, 522a, 524a, 526a, 528a , 530a, 532a, 534a, 536a and 538a , and ten bottom CMD yarns 540, 542, 544, 546, 548, 550, 552, 554, 556 and 558.
  • each MD yarn passes over two top CMD yarns and the pick sandwiched therebetween, between the next two sets of top and bottom CMD yarns, below the next bottom CMD yarn, between the next two sets of bottom and top CMD yarns, below the following bottom CMD yarn, and between the next two sets of top and bottom CMD yarns.
  • MD yarn 501 passes above top CMD yarns 520 and 522 as well as pick 520a, below pick 522a, between sets of top and bottom CMD yarns 524, 544 and 526, 546, below bottom CMD yarn 548, between sets of top and bottom CMD yarns 530, 550 and 532, 552, below bottom CMD yarn 554, and between sets of top and bottom CMD yarns 536, 556 and 538, 558.
  • Adjacent MD yams are offset by three top CMD yarns; thus, as MD yarn 501 passes above top CMD yarns 520 and 522, adjacent MD yarn 502 passes above top CMD yarns 526 and 528.
  • the adjacent bottom layer MD knuckles found in the previously described fabrics are present here; accordingly, this fabric can also exhibit the performance advantages described above.
  • the principles of the present invention may also be applied to other double layer fabrics, whether they include fiber support picks or not.
  • the fabrics may include different numbers of yarns in the repeat unit (for example, eleven or twelve MD yarns), and the MD yarns may follow a different pattern as they pass over the top CMD yarns; as an example, the top layer have follow a pattern such as those illustrated in U.S. Patent No. 5,937,914 and co-pending and co-assigned U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 09/501,753, filed February 10, 2000, the disclosures of each of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
